RESUMO
AIM: To evaluate early and long-term outcomes of ONSTEP procedure including their comparison with those of Liechtenstein hernia repair. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study consists of 2 parts - retrospective and prospective. There were 472 patients in retrospective part. Prospective analysis included 30 patients after ONSTEP hernia repair and 30 patients after Liechtenstein procedure. RESULTS: Postoperative complications and chronic pain syndrome occurred in 2.9% and 0.4% of cases after ONSTEP surgery, respectively. Moreover, ONSTEP procedure was followed by 2 cases or recurrence. There were no any significant differences between ONSTEP and Liechtenstein procedures. CONCLUSION: ONSTEP technique is highly effective and safe procedure that can be used in inguinal hernia management.

Fluorescent and optical spectroscopy were used to study the interaction of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) with negatively charged polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and dextran sulfate (DS), as well as positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDADMA). As found, DS and PDADMA did not affect the structural and catalytic enzyme properties. In contrast, PSS slightly decreased the protein self-fluorescence over 1 h of incubation, which is associated with partial destruction of its quaternary (globular) structure. Investigation of the ADH activity with and without PSS showed its dependency on the incubation time and the PSS presence. Sodium chloride (2.0 M and 0.2 M) or ammonium sulfate (0.1 M) added to the reaction mixture did not completely protect the enzyme quaternary structure from the PSS action. However ammonium sulfate or 0.2 M sodium chloride stabilized the enzyme and partially inhibited the negative PSS effect.

AIM: To compare conventional and laparoscopic appendectomy in pregnant women. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 86 patients with acute appendicitis who were surgically treated. In group 1 (42 women) laparoscopic approach was used, in group 2 (44 patients) - laparotomy. RESULTS: Postoperative complications were observed in 2 (4.8%) and 3 (6.8%) patients in groups 1 and 2 respectively. All complications related to Clavien-Dindo class I-II. There were no premature births and abortions in laparoscopy group. In case of conventional surgery premature births and abortions were observed in 2 (4.5%) and 1 (2.27%) observations respectively. Other women had timely childbirth in terms of 36-41 weeks. CONCLUSION: Risk of delay exceeds risk of vain appendectomy. All pregnant women with acute appendicitis should be examined by obstetrician-gynaecologist, surgeon, urologist, anesthesiologist. If acute appendicitis can not be excluded based on clinical data the patient should be operated. Diagnostic laparoscopy and laparoscopic appendectomy are advisable in case of pregnancy up to 24 weeks. Woman should be under observation of obstetrician-gynaecologist in perioperative period to prevent premature birth and abortion.
